305 Life zones of the Eastern Sierra and Mono Basin
How do plants and animal populations adapt to changes (elevation, aspect, temperature, precipitation) from Mono Lake to the top of Tioga Peak above Gardisky Lake? What adaptations do individual species have which enable life at a given elevation? How do plant communities change from Mono Basin to riparian zones to Pinyon/Juniper to Montane forests to sub-alpine forests, to the alpine environment? Join Todd for a tour of these varied habitats, starting at Mono’s shoreline and ending in the high-elevation Tioga Pass region.
